Multi-spin Redox Sensor for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Studies of Tissue Redox State
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimRedox imaging is one of the fastest growing areas in diagnostics of pathologies accompanied by redox imbalance. We describe a multi-spin redox sensor (RS) and its application for redox imaging in mice using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe probe is composed of a quantum dot functionalized with a cyclodextrin shell, conjugated with nitroxide residues (TEMPO) and triphenylphosphonium to achieve intracellular delivery. The data were validated with a conventional spin probe, mito-TEMPO. Nitroxide probe (RS or mito-TEMPO) was injected intravenously in mice under anesthesia. Blood samples were collected from the tail vein at four time intervals within 2 hours and subjected immediately to analysis using EPR spectroscopy. Two hours after injection, mice were sacrificed, five organs were isolated, and tissue homogenates were prepared and subjected to EPR analysis.
resultsRS had the same EPR contrast and significantly higher MRI contrast compared to mito-TEMPO. RS circulated longer in the bloodstream than mito-TEMPO, with both substances undergoing reduction in the blood. The distribution of RS and mito-TEMPO in different organs was equal, except for the brain. No adverse side effects were found in mice at the selected dose.
conclusionUsing a non-toxic nanoparticle in the chemical structure of RS as a carrier of nitroxide residues would enhance its translational relevance.
